59Carol's Journal, 03 Jun 23

One pound down! That is lovely to see. One day this past week I had a blip when I was down 2.2 pounds... and one troubling day I was up 1.2 pounds! The rest of the week was more in the slow downward direction. Generally I ate within my calorie window with one day as an exception (about 175 calories over).

What went well? The protein bar has been a surpisingly helpful tool. I have been quite reluctant to eat protein bars as many years ago they were rather gross tasting. They have come a long way since then! I am finding that eating them has helped me deal with the "I am starved and I don't have a plan" moment. By planning to eat a protein bar it also allows for the times I am eating more than my plan and so I can take the protein bar out and remain within the calorie window.

I am doing a bit more pausing before I go off plan. I have been known to be quite impulsive in my eating choices away from home. I am making more of an effort to pause before just eating what is in front of me. Sometimes I am more successful than other times.

This past week has been quite busy. I finished up the Used Book Sale last Sunday. We made $3000 so that was great. I am battling ants in my garden plot so all my planting is not yet done. Hopefully this week. I subbed at the school for a day. I have put in time at my father in law's on 4 days. I went swimming one day. I bought a new lawn mower - very exciting as it is a heavy duty ride on mower! I have a massive lawn so this is a super big treat. Finally, I have a plan in place for my rental units. Work will begin on July 1 and will hopefully be finished September 1.

Oh gosh I hate ants! They are making a home in the stone on my house. Last year I got bit by a bunch of them while moving a planter. My whole thumb joint was purple! I found Raid works wonders!!!
